Ever thought about taking a fitness class with your favorite canine? Here's your chance. A one-time Canine Fitness Fun Class will be held on Thurs., June 18, 6-7:30pm, at Hull Park (north end of Boardman Lake) in Traverse City. The class is part of a 10-week cross-country tour called Jack's Journey USA, in honor of 10-year-old Cairn Terrier "Jack." The tour added Traverse City to the list after being invited by TC-based Woofers On The Run owner Valeri Dietz. Dietz says she has a goal of making the TC class "the biggest and best" on the tour and is encouraging all to bring their pooches and give the class a try.

Here's what to expect: dogs and owners (1 per person, please) will move through a series of warm-up and cardio exercises, body weight exercises, balance, yoga, dog agility and obedience. There will also be demos on kayaking and paddleboarding with a dog. All fitness levels and ages are welcome. Wear exercise attire and bring water and a yoga mat or towel.

Pre-registration is required and costs $15 per person with $5 going to local animal rescue organization AC Paw.
